an experiment was conducted to evaluate the extracted (es) and mechanical (ms) soybean meals two levels 25% and 35% in broiler chicken feeding. three hundred and fifty two one-day-old unsexed lohman chickens were placed in four treatments by 4 replicates and 22 chickens in each in a 2×2 factorial arrangement. feed intake was increased significantly in starter period by es in comparison with ms....

objective: osteoporosis or silent disease is a major bone disorder in elderly women in current century. estrogen has an important role in osteogenesis and prevention of bone fractures. hormone replacement therapy (hrt) is usually accompanied by such effects as breast and ovary cancers. thus, there is an increasing demand for replacement with plant phytoestrogens. this study is focused on determ...

background: there are some controversial data on application of progesterone and progesterone plus estrogen at luteal phase. objective: to investigate the effects of different luteal support hormones on the alkaline phosphates (alp) activity in the endometrial epithelium and endometrial thickness during superovulation process for obtaining the optimized endometrial receptivity in animal model. ...

background: collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, and as an extracellular matrix protein, has an important role in the fiber formation. this feature of the collagen renders  establishment of the structural skeleton in tissues. regarding specific features associated with the collagen, such as, formation of the porous structure, permeability and hydrophilicity, it can also be use...

conclusions ehp was able to both reduce ldl-ch and to significantly decrease markers of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation induced by hyperlipidemia. therefore, this herb, as a new pharmacological component, could be used to reduce certain blood lipids, lipid peroxidation, and aminotransferase markers. materials and methods thirty-two male rats weighting 200 ± 10 g were randomly divided in...

The aim of this study was to Investigate the toxic effects of chromium and cadmium on the activity of two isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase in vitro and in vivo experiments. Oral administration and peritoneal injection of  CdCl2 or CrCl3 in rats reduced serum alkaline phosphatase by 21.5℅ and 25.5℅ respectively. At the same time high molecular weight alkaline phosphatase was elevated by 138℅ a...

objectives: osteoblasts are the most important cells in the osseointegration process. despite years of study on dental implants, limited studies have discussed the effect of saliva on the adhesion process of osteoblasts to implant surfaces. the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of saliva on morphology and differentiation of osteoblasts attached to implant surfaces. materials...

introduction: the impact of chromium exposure was studied on liver, kidney, testis, spleen, cerebrum and cerebellum of male wistar rats (80-100 g body weight). material & method: it was observed that treatments of rats with chromium (i.p. at a dose of 0.8 mg / 100 g body weight per day) for a period of 28 days caused significant increase in chromium content while declining the body weight along...

Background: Hodgkin’s disease (HD) is a neoplastic disease originating in lymphoid tissue, which spreads to lymphoid structures and ultimately nonlymphoid tissues. Lactate Dehydrogenase and Alkaline Phosphatase are increased in blood following membrane cell damage. The aim of this study was to compare Lactate Dehydrogenase and Alkaline Phosphatase levels in children in different stages of Hodg...
